Open Day at SJCE showcases student innovations
CG Betsurmath, executive secretary of JSS Mahavidyapeetha, Mysuru, inaugurated the Open Day and launched a 'Virtual Tour' application. The application created by students was designed to assist attendees in navigating the Open Day campus events.
Live demonstrations of student projects and working models were presented, along with a variety of competitions, including model exhibitions, poster presentations and prototype displays.
Engineering students participated in project presentation competitions, while department exhibits were evaluated by a panel of judges.
A major crowd-puller was the air show facilitated by the department of mechanical engineering at the KSCA Grounds.
AN Santosh Kumar, vice chancellor; C Nataraju, principal (in-charge); P Nanjundaswamy, controller of examinations; BS Harish, deputy registrar; and event conveners KM Anil Kumar and MN Nagendra Prasad were present.

State poised to lead India's quantum technology push: Raichur MP
Bengaluru: Karnataka is ready to play a leading role in shaping India's quantum technology land-scape, Raichur MP G. Kumar Naik told the Lok Sabha on Monday while welcoming the Centre's decision to invest in the National Quantum Mission (NQM). Speaking under Rule 377, Naik stressed the need for better coordination, a clear im-plementation roadmap, and cooperative federalism to ensure that the mission delivers measurable outcomes. Drawing lessons from India's semiconductor programme, he warned against the risk of ambitious projects stalling despite large budget allocations. Naik highlighted Karnataka's early strides in the sector, including the announcement of a Rs1,000-crore Quantum Fund — the first of its kind in the country — and a compre-hensive vision for quantum technology development under Chief Minister Siddara-maiah and Deputy Chief Minister D.K. Shivakumar. He credited State Science and Technology Minister N.S. Boseraju for conceptualising and executing the inaugural Quantum India Summit 2025 in Bengaluru, which brought together Nobel Laureates, global experts, industry leaders, and researchers. Key state initiatives include a dedicated Quantum Research Park and Q-City, Fabline, quantum coursework in over 20 colleges, and a strong startup ecosystem. Karnataka produces more than 91,000 quantum-relevant graduates annually, second only to the EU, Naik said. Boseraju added that the success of the national mission depends on the State and Centre working 'hand-in-hand' with shared vision, strategic coordination, and sus-tained investment in talent and infrastructure.

‘Loom Alert' to fix night accidents caused due to highway hypnosis
1 2 3 4 Nagpur: Despite improved infrastructure and awareness campaigns, fatal accidents on the Samruddhi Expressway continue, especially after dark. Now, a city-based physicist and his student research team have developed an innovative solution they believe could save lives. Named 'Loom Alert', it is a light-based alert system aimed at snapping drivers out of night-time drowsiness and highway hypnosis. The idea struck after a recent crash near Umred, in which four members of the same family were killed as the driver reportedly fell asleep around 7pm. "The pattern was clear, long stretches of unlit road, driver fatigue, and hypnotic monotony," said Sanjay Dhoble, senior faculty at Nagpur University's Department of Physics. "That's when I began working with my students to devise a visual intervention that could re-engage the brain mid-journey. The new system would be installed 50km each on both sides of petrol pumps where there are no lights," he told TOI. Working with MSc Physics student Khushboo Singh and MBA student Namika Shaikh, Dhoble designed a model that introduces a 'light tunnel'. The model includes an illuminated gateway made of LED-lit plastic panels, with peacock motifs and colourful light clusters on either side.

"Loom Alert is not just about aesthetics. The sudden change in environment, brightness, and colour pattern triggers the brain out of trance-like states that long, dark highways tend to induce," said Singh. The model has now secured an international patent, and the team is advocating its implementation every 100km along the Samruddhi corridor. Dhoble insists the light-based setup could dramatically reduce hypnosis-induced accidents. "We're not redesigning infrastructure, we're adding a layer of consciousness to existing journeys," he said. He also emphasised the broader responsibility of academic institutions. "A university must serve society through meaningful, applied research. Our students must learn to innovate for real-world problems," Dhoble said, adding that its cost would be around Rs10,000 to Rs15,000. He added that he would be ready to extend all cooperation to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) officials to install the system, who manage the Samruddhi Highway. University officials, including acting vice-chancellor Madhavi Khode-Chaware, Pro VC Subhash Kondawar, registrar Raju Hiwase, finance officer Harish Paliwal, and Physics Department Head Omprakash Chimankar, congratulated the team.
